Fun at Zoo | Washington DC

A great morning checking out one of my old favs, the National Zoo! Otters, lions and pandas were the highlights! Mine was Noah posing and saying “Mommy, take my picture!” That’s my boy….

Zinnia | Silver Spring, MD

I think I found my new favorite spot! One of the few downsides to moving the ‘burbs is the lack of unique restaurants that have that character and charm to stand out from the chains and big operations. I always loved this about DC. But Zinnia in Silver Spring has renewed my faith that they are out there! This spot has an adorable (and large) garden area, cozy tavern and beautiful dining area. I had lunch with a friend there and look forward to going back and trying dinner. The food is healthy and delicious! And lots of room for kids to run if you bring the fam. Definitely recommend!

Bedtime Stories Mini Sessions with Erin Metheny | In-Studio

Join the two of us at 10 AM on Thursday, August 3rd at my Silver Spring studio to enjoy an hour talking to Erin and other moms all about sleep struggles and remedies, and capture some sweet bedtime story photos with your little ones.

We'll provide some fun sleepy time props and books (feel free to bring your own favorite books!) and we'll capture snuggling photos of everyone reading together.  These aren't the “everyone behave and smile at the camera” photos! We'll be focusing on that sweet bedtime connection between you and your littles… while they're still little. Come comfy and even wear your PJ's!  

Your $85 ticket already includes one complimentary high-resolution digital image of your choice, but you'll also have the option to purchase more images from the online proofing gallery if you so desire.
